Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "there isn't enough heavyweight material here ... These kind of 'Headlines' only rate a cursory scan."[4] The Ottawa Citizen thought that "the sultry voice of Belinda Lipscomb on two slow dancers, 'Searching for Love' and 'Stay Here by My Side', make Headlines a complete and solid effort from Midnight Star."[5]
